Sober Slate

So clean, so clear;

Just, just a grey line;

Sunlight falling gently on your pale face;

Lovely is always in this crowded space;

Every inch of you, every single line;

Filling up desires, frozen in time;

The city outside is looking a bit gray;

People rushing by, chasing the day;

Loneliness and fragility in the dark;

Anxious hearts looking for a spark;

Yeah, we know it's all just everyday norm;

You keep your head down, not a single word;

Walking into the gray, wild and unheard;

Happiness is always lacking the nerve;

Romance short of the poetry we deserve;

Silence building up;

Brick by brick;

Yeah, so damn sober;

Staying independent and quick;

Standing all alone;

Holding my ground;

No trace of illusion to be found;

So clean, so clear;

No trace of illusion to be found;

The neon is cold, the shadows are long;

We dance to the rhythm of a broken song;

No filters needed, I see through the fake;

Taking back control of the choices I make;

Yeah, look at the silence talking heavy;

Sentence by sentence, we independent;

Living this life with zero repentance;

You looking for poetry?

I'm coding a brand new strategy;

Soberly walking right through this dirty city and the tragedy;

No illusions left behind, got a clean slate in the mind;

Chasing the shadows, you know that we hard to find;

Step back, watch me fade into the clouds;

The comfort of the grey zone;

Just a fierce queen thriving on her own cold throne;

Sober, independent;

Every fantasy is dead;

Just reality instead;

Silence building up;

By brick, yeah, so damn sober;

Staying independent, quick, quick;

Standing all alone holding my ground;

No trace of illusion to be found;

So clear;

So clear;

Grey wine;
